My son is almost 6 months and we haven't officially named him. It's just aweful but we are stuck.

It's illegal not to have filed a birth certificate with a name at this point where I live. Who waits 6 months to name a baby? It's not THAT hard looking at the choice you have. If you and your husband can't agree on this after 6 months, maybe consider some marriage counselling.

Well considering stanly is the first name in all of them it's obvious to go with stanly, just pick the freakin middle names the only time you use them is when they're in big trouble and you're yelling...

If you r parents who are already trying to be so perfect u r in for a very rough ride! Their actual name is so little compared to the big smile they give u when they hear it! You are loosing a significant connection.

Well we did not know your father had passed or that you were ill, try to see it from that perspective. A baby needs a name and 6 months is too long to wait.What to do you mean the the names you love are "taken" can't you have more than one child with the same name in your extended family?Why don't you name him after your dad? I apologize if comments were not supportive but your baby is six months old.

Good heavens, I agree. What on earth is the hold up? I am curious too, what have you been calling him? Is there a reason you can't agree, deeper than just feeling non-committal? Stanley Logan James, There I decided for you.

6 months w/out a name?! Sheesh... poor kid. Just PICK one. What the heck have you been calling him for 6 months? It's really not as much of a big deal as you have made it if you haven't named the poor boy for SIX MONTHS!!
